    Abstract:

    Including China, global food waste seriously endangers security of food, resource and environment. Food waste has always been condemned morally, and there are practices of restricting food waste through systems in some countries. The theoretical dilemma of anti-food waste legislation is that, the right holder has the right to dispose of all his property (food included), according to the theory of ownership. In fact, at a time of serious food crisis and environmental resource crisis, the waste behavior characterized by "free" disposition has shown as excessive release of ownership tension, and it deviates from the requirements of resource sociality. The theory of ownership that does not bear any social obligations is facing new changes. Based on the resource sociality theory, anti-food waste legislation aims to correct the excessive release of ownership tension, and meet the requirements of social obligations and environmental obligations of property rights. Anti-food waste legislation should focus on the needs of ecological civilization construction and meet the requirements of the green development idea. Beyond the framework of "economical anti-waste" and "recycling anti-waste", it should build a "circulating anti-waste" system. And it should contain not only mandatory constraints, but also policies and measures that promote and guide the development of related green industries. Also, the "Anti-Food Waste Law" can be a breakthrough to push forward the construction of anti-waste national legislative system.
